"As for this Martial God, even the God Kings are wary of his existence!"
The Nine-Colored Goddess was afraid that Ning Fengzhi might do something reckless, so she reminded him.
As for whether the inheritor of the Food God would act recklessly, the Food God would give a slight reminder later.
Once they left the Divine Realm, they would be free as birds, no longer bound by its constraints.
Ning Fengzhi: "..."
After all this, it turns out he was the clown!
Startled from the brink of death, only to realize the clown was himself!
The hierarchy went: God Hunter, Divine Official, Third-Rank God, Second-Rank God, First-Rank God, God King.
Ning Fengzhi was merely the inheritor of a Second-Rank God.
The disciples of the Body Sect, however, were inheritors of First-Rank Gods!
As for Zhongli himself, he was someone even the God Kings feared...
As if struck by a thought, Ning Fengzhi glanced suspiciously at Xiao, who was someone even Zhongli had opened the door for!
Wait, given Zhongli's personality, if he could hide his strength so deeply, this young man's power was worth investigating.
Ning Fengzhi fell silent, unsure of what to say.
He was truly at a loss. Who could have guessed that Zhongli had hidden his strength so well!
If it weren't for the Nine-Colored Goddess's revelation, he would still be in the dark, trying to show off in front of such a powerhouse.
He had thought he could carry the other party, but little did he know, the other party had already soared to heights he couldn't even imagine.
That was someone even the God Kings feared!
Well, he wasn't a deity yet, so he didn't know just how terrifying gods could be.
It was hard to fathom just how powerful Zhongli was.
Chen Xin frowned, his eyelids twitching slightly. Although he didn't know what Ning Fengzhi was thinking or what the Nine-Colored Goddess had said, he could see the awkwardness on Ning Fengzhi's face.
He had intended to give the Body Sect a boost, but who would have thought they also had a god's inheritor.
The inheritor of the Fire God, just the title alone spoke volumes about the god's power.
The Fire God was the ruler of a single element!
If that wasn't powerful, what was?
As for what god Ning Fengzhi was inheriting, it was unknown, and Ning Fengzhi wasn't willing to elaborate.
"Fire God?"
Xiao, mimicking Zhongli, stroked his chin and murmured, falling into deep thought.
If he remembered correctly, the current Fire God was a human woman...
The Fire God was inherited by humans, and lifespan was a major drawback.
If one could inherit the Fire God's power, it wouldn't be a bad deal.
But this little guy seemed a bit weak.
Surely, this wasn't the Fire God from Teyvat, right?
A god from this world?
Seeing Xiao so "calmly" utter the words "Fire God" and then fall into thought, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin exchanged glances, feeling a chill run up their spines, from the soles of their feet to the back of their heads.
"Even if this Xiao isn't as strong as Zhongli, he definitely isn't far behind!"
Ning Fengzhi thought to himself, sensing that things weren't as simple as they seemed.
"Xiao, it's not the Fire God you know, it's the one from here!"
Seeing Xiao's confusion, Paimon spoke up bluntly.
No one knew where Xiao's "spawn point" was, how long it took him to reach Zhongli's residence, or what he had experienced along the way.
Xiao had "landed" and immediately encountered Shui Bing'er and the others, then made his way to Heaven Dou City without any significant events.
Hearing this, Xiao understood his earlier suspicion.
"So that's how it is?"
He gave Du Siji a meaningful glance before falling into thought once more.
If he wasn't mistaken, Du Siji was wearing the Millieth set, right?
Was he a member of the Millieth Army?
Or perhaps a member of this world's Millieth Army?
Even after crossing into another world, the Geo Archon still hadn't abandoned the Millieth Army. Truly, the Geo Archon.
He always had responsibilities he couldn't let go of, even if he appeared relaxed. Who knew how much effort he put into protecting his people?
Mortals might not know, but as one of the Geo Archon's generals, Xiao knew a thing or two.
This Geo Archon wasn't as carefree as he seemed.
Listening to their conversation, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin were left in the dark, unsure of what they were talking about.
What did they mean by "not the Fire God Xiao knows"?
Could there be multiple Fire Gods?
This world was becoming more and more surreal.
But Ning Fengzhi, having failed to show off and instead been shown up, couldn't bring himself to ask for clarification.
Chen Xin was even worse off. Although he had the strength of a 96th-level Soul Master, he had no place to speak here.
Either the others were stronger than him, or they were god's inheritors. How was he supposed to communicate?
He was just an ordinary Title Douluo!
He used to think he was quite powerful, but now...
Well, it was hard to put into words.
After what felt like an eternity, Ning Fengzhi finally left Zhongli's residence in a daze, taking Chen Xin with him.
Even after returning to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi was still in a state of shock.
First-Rank God inheritor...
Feared even by the God Kings...
Do not provoke, do not offend!
"Damn it, when I was a Soul Sage, I was timid. When I became a Title Douluo, I was still bowing and scraping."
"Now that I'm a god's inheritor, my spine has snapped!"
"If I actually become a god, will I never be able to hold my head high?"
Rarely, Ning Fengzhi finally broke down, cursing vehemently.
As he said, when he was a 79th-level Soul Sage, he had no temper in front of Zhongli, a "98th-level" Super Douluo.
When he broke through to the Soul Douluo level, he was grateful in front of Zhongli, a "99th-level" Ultimate Douluo.
Now, as a Title Douluo and a god's inheritor, what happened?
He couldn't even straighten his back, it was completely broken!
Even the gods said not to provoke him, let alone a mere inheritor like himself!
"Fengzhi, what exactly happened?"
"Why did you lose control of your expression when you saw that Fire God inheritor?"
Back at the sect, with no outsiders around, Chen Xin finally asked.
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi's eyes filled with grievance, truly at a loss for words.
He first explained the hierarchy of gods, then continued, "Uncle Jian, the god I inherited is a prominent figure in the Divine Realm, one of the very few gods."
Although the Nine-Colored Goddess was only a Second-Rank God, how many God Kings and First-Rank Gods were there?
There weren't many Second-Rank Gods either.
The Nine-Colored Goddess being a Second-Rank God made her one of the elite among gods.
"She is a Second-Rank God-level powerhouse."
"But the Fire God is a peak First-Rank God!"
"And what shocked me the most was that Lord Martial God is someone even the God Kings fear!"
"Can you understand how I felt earlier?"
Chen Xin: "..."
Well, Ning Fengzhi had walked right into that one!
No wonder when Ning Fengzhi revealed he was a god's inheritor, no one at the scene showed any reaction.
